Juneteenth at the Field Museum
Juneteenth marks the celebration of the end of chattel slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union forces declared victory over the Confederacy and announced that all formerly enslaved people were now free. Juneteenth stands as a powerful symbol—not only of liberation, but also of the long road toward healing and reconciliation.
See African Fashion hit the runway with Chicago style, celebrating Africa Fashion and Connecting Threads exhibitions.
